Seller Testimonial

Richard did initial pricing of property and was very pleasant but business like. Took his time to ensure had all information without it feeling like third degree Good communication by Rachel so I always knew what was happening, even if it was nothing!. Vicky did all viewings so my house cat would not be stressed - she made friends with him on first visit so I had piece of mind. Good team work between staff, always made time for me when I popped in. Made a stressful process very easy and smooth. Strongly recommend - A. I.

Seller Testimonial

Willing to go the extra mile

I was very pleased with the service we received from Mansbridge and Balment. They were very professional, courtious and willing to go that extra mile for us. We sold 11 new homes through them and they were so helpful in carrying out viewings, providing feed back and providing sensible marketing suggestions. I would recommend them as an agent to any one - R.N.

Seller Testimonial

Lovely sales leaflet

Very helpful in getting property on market, with lovely sales leaflet and advice in making the property look appealing to buyers. Unfortunately the property was on the market for a very long time (15 months) and I had turned down initial offers hoping to get more, but ended up selling it for much less the following year. I would have liked better advice from them about an appropriate price and offer in the first place, although I understand it is difficult in this current sales climate. All the staff at the office (especially Rachel) were extremely helpful in showing the house and chasing potential buyers, and I am grateful for their polite, calm and helpful manner even when I was very stressed! - L.

We would recommend you guys to anyone! - A.A.

Smoothest purchase and sale of all agents

We have both bought and sold from M&B - they are professional, friendly, helpful and gave 100% to both our purchase and sale.

Dealt with both Tavistock and Yelverton offices, all of the staff were top class, very easy to deal with nothing a problem, always kept you informed, and on the ball - B.

Buyer Testimonial

Nothing too much trouble

Myself and my fiancé have just purchased our first home through Rachel and I can not recommend her highly enough! Nothing was ever too much trouble, answered every silly and probably pointless little question we had and always responded to any calls or emails quick as a flash. She made the whole experience so much less stressful than we\'d anticipated. I\'d recommend her to anyone and hope that when we move again one day that we\'re fortunate enough to use her again! Thankyou! - M.B.

Buyer Testimonial

Very thorough service

Very thorough service from Jan and Rachel with a personal touch provided by all staff we dealt with. Dealt with all questions and issues in a timely manner with very good communication at all times - D.

Buyer Testimonial

Excellent service

Our long and arduous purchasing process was made much more bearable by the excellent service we received from Rachel and Jan. From house viewings and mercy dashes to check the locks on the house for insurance purposes with Jan, to many conversations and extra support from Rachel, Mansbridge staff went above and beyond the call of duty in order to help us. Their professionalism, approachability and all-round levels of care and attention to detail are outstanding and we would recommend them highly to all prospective customers - Mr. & Mrs. B.

Buyer Testimonial

Will definitely recommend them

Although a stressfull process Rachel made it so much more bearable. Keeping me up to date on a regular basis even though I was the purchaser. Answered any queries I had very promptly and professionally. I can\'t rate Mansbridge & Balment highly enough. I will definately recommend them and when I sell (not for a while) I will not hesitate to use them - S.K.

Buyer Testimonial

Professional and focused

Nicola was professional and focused in helping my 81 yr old mother find a suitable bungalow for her needs - on the flat, not too many steps, gas CH, enclosed garden, in good repair, neighbours not too close but not far..... was a steep order! Having looked in a 10 mile radius round Tavistock we found one just 300 m from where I live which fitted the bill. Nicola stayed in touch with me regularly - but not so much as to overwhelm me as I work full time and had other agents on the case too. She was instrumental in helping mum make the final decision to purchase the one she did by weighing up the pros and cons and encouraging her to reach the big decision - very difficult at 81!. So glad to have her so close by. Thank you Nicola

Buyer Testimonial

Constant and valuable feedback

Rachel provided constant and valuable feedback throughout what became a protracted process. She always got back to us when we called and was a reassuring voice when we felt that the deal may not progress. T. R.

Buyer Testimonial

Worldly but with intimate knowledge

We found the agency professional, worldly, yet retaining an intimate knowledge of local conditions. Having bought two properties through them over the last two years, we have learnt that they are equally highly regarded by sellers and buyers in the area. From our initial searches to completion of purchase, the experience was positive. N.H

Buyer Testimonial

Communication extremely efficient

Staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to enable viewing of the property at short notice. Communication was extremely efficient and all issues were dealt with swiftly and effectively with all parties involved. Mrs. G.

Buyer Testimonial

Friendly, courteous, efficient & knowledgeable

Mansbridge and Balment provided us with most excellent support in our search for a property. From the outset we found them friendly, courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. They were very proactive in providing information on properties that might interest us, working hard to identify suitable houses and not wasting time offering us properties that did not fit our criteria. They were very \'joined up\' in their approach; Peter, Jade, Vicky, Nicola, Rachel, Richard and other members of the team all took an interest in our search and worked collaboratively to find us a house. Viewing appointments were efficiently arranged and punctually kept. When viewing we were given sensitive, well-informed non-pushy support. There is a real sense of \'family\' about the Mansbridge and Balment team while at the same time being a thoroughly professional estate agency. Buying or selling we would have no hesitation in approaching them first. B.

A "can do attitude"

Rachel always responded very promptly to my e mails. She sorted out any queries I had about the property and nothing was too much trouble. Rachel has a 'can do attitude' which really helped me through the purchase. Thanks

Buyer Testimonial

Very helpful

The agent was always very helpful and kept in touch with us on a regular basis but did not harass us when some small delays occurred in the process.

Buyer Testimonial

Peter Sleep did everything that could have reasonably been expected of him. We appreciate a higher offer was made for the property but are pleased that the vendor and agent decided that we could be relied upon to complete the deal quickly with the minimum amount of hassle. The couple of odd things we had to catch up on with Rachel were dealt with by her efficiently. We appreciated the box of goodies we received. It was a nice touch and the contents were carefully chosen. We expect to be teaming up with Mansbridge Balment again in the near future

Buyer Testimonial

The whole office very good

The service from the whole office was very good, they always returned our calls and answered any queries swiftly. We will recommend them to other people
